Re: 5/24 Premiere Show Discussion Thread

I love this show and it did not disappoint me one bit. This is one show that I enjoy watching all of it. I have cut out watching the auditions of AI because they focus too much on the bad and not enough of the good people. This show IMO does the opposite and focuses more on the good stuff and less of the bad contestants that you know will never go anywhere. I love all the judges because they are all different and bring their different personalities to the table. I think Cat is the best there is as far as a host. I did not see the movie that Critical mentioned so I like Tyce as well. I saw a lot of really good dancers and it will be interesting to see which of them will make it. I thought the mom and her two kids were adorable. To watch little Stella dance was just adorable. I hope the mom is one of them that makes it through and is able to fulfill her dream. I always liked Adam as a judge a lot, but have to say I would never have pictured him kissing Jlo's poster on AI. I will forgive him for that. lol

I have to say I also watched Duets and was very intrigued by that show. I love watching singers actually perform with their contestants and I may be in the minority, but saw a lot of talent and liked the fact that they were singing current music. My summer is complete with SYTYCD, Big Brother and now Duets.

LOVED watching last night!!!

Ya, the mom with the two kiddos so darn cute. And the idiot with the attitude really sad. I liked 'ocean' boy who got up on that stage and did his best. I also glad he understood that this was not for him but to keep dancing.

Oh whoever posted about ELLEN, I would have LOVED to have seen Twitch and Melanie bummer.

Mary she is still Mary so loud but I do like her. She is so emotional.

It was Twitch, Marco, Robert, Melanie, Alison and Courtney. It was a good performance. I'm guessing since they were the ones guesting on her show that they are the pros this year?

I've seen a lot of talent so far, but it seems as if a lot of the routines look more like gymnastic floor exercises than dances. I would not be surprised if several of the guys had gymnastic training. One of them did a move invented by Kurt Thomas.
